"A Tale of Two Sisters" is a moody, psychological horror film about two siblings with a more-than-strained relationship with their stepmother. Is she sinister, or is there something more beneath the surface of this story? Yes, of course it's the latter, and it's heart-wrenching.
Su-mi returns home from a stay at a mental hospital only to find bizarre happenings with her stepmother, Eun-joo, directed at her and her younger sister, Su-yeon. Su-mi's father is concerned ... and there may also be ghosts in the house. Director Kim Jee-woon delivers a deeply felt tale of how a fractured family can lead to a fractured mind.
